| Summary: | Moringa oleifera is a natural coagulant which can
be used for water treatment in tropical developing countries.
This study presents the results of production of natural
coagulant from processed Moringa oleifera with simple
technique (oil extraction, salt extraction, and microfiltration
with 0.2 μm). The optimization study on physical factors was
carried out for coagulation-flocculation process. Low initial
turbidity water samples (synthetic and river water) were used
with turbidity less than 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units
(NTU). The response surface methodology (RSM) was used,
and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to
validate the developed regression model. The residual
turbidity obtained was 4.514 NTU for synthetic water and
1.598 NTU for river water by applying the optimum
conditions of 40 rpm (low speed), mixing time of 41 minutes,
and Moringa oleifera dosage of 0.75 mg/L.
